    Apostolic Authority

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Nov 29, 2001
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,155 views

    This message will be unpopular because it challenges the foundation of those claiming to have this authority.

    Apostolic Authority I realize this is not a popular message, but I also believe it is necessary and relevant to a biblically sound church. This is a follow up to the message, ‘Is Speaking in Tongues Essential?’ In this message, we looked at scripture that testified that not all Christians under ...read more

    THIS WORLD IS SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWERS, JUST LIKE THIS MAN WHO WENT TO JERUSALEM TO WORSHIP, BUT GOD NEED SOME MAN TO SHOW HIM, WILL YOU BE THAT PERSON GOD USES??

    When we come to where we are in the book of Acts, we find that Saul of Tarus was making havoc of the Church, but even in the midst of all the persecution God still had a man that was determined to be faithful to him, a man named Phillip. One that was willing to stand in the gap, willing to go where ...read more

    Although evangelism can be a group event, sharing the Gospel with one person at a time is as ancient as the early church.

    The Road Less Traveled (Acts 8:26-40) The History of Judaism in Ethiopia is fascinating, but uncertain. Ethiopia is different from every other country in Africa. Ethiopian Jews, Beta Israel, aka Falasha Jews, lived in Ethiopia for centuries. Where did they come from? Nearly 85% of the Ethiopian ...read more

    When I give my life over to Jesus, it is not about me anymore, it is about Jesus Christ. Every event, every problem, every victory are about Jesus Christ. Simon is the personification of the person who does not understand this concept.
